Splashing for Eggs

Parks and Recreation will also be offering a Splashing for Eggs Event at the Middle School Pool, 777 Burnside Avenue,  pool entrance located on Scotland Road on Friday, March 31, 2023 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.  Participants will be assigned a time slot to ‘hop’ into the pool to collect some floating eggs.  Children will then turn in their eggs for a goody bag.  We will also have music, floats and snacks. U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets must be worn in the water for those who do not know how to swim, and children ages 6 and under must have a parent/guardian in the water with them at all times.  This event is FREE for East Hartford Residents and registration is required at Ehparks.org due to limited space.
